Hidden in an article at Variety, it was revealed that Ridley Scott‘s Scott Free Productions is getting behind the most bizarre true story of the real life of Jack Parsons, a man in 1940s Los Angeles who helped pioneer the field of American rocketry, and by night is a performer of sex magick rituals and a disciple to occultist Aleister Crowley!
Currently titled “Strange Angel”, the drama series is created by Mark Heyman and based on George Pendle’s book of the same name. The director is also a big addition: A Ghost Story and Pete’s Dragon‘s David Lowery.
The series will be produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Scott Free Productions. Heyman, David DiGilio, Scott, and David W. Zucker will serve as executive producers; Clayton Krueger will be co-executive producer, and Lowery will direct and executive produce.
The conspiracy theories surrounding Parsons go all over the spectrum, even as far as that he opened a portal to the “Devil’s Gate Dam”. Enjoy this entry down the rabbit hole.
